it is possible that the time change caused a withdrawal bleed which may explain your irregular bleeding. that may be the case if there was a delay in taking the pills due to the time change.

the best thing at this point is to just continue taking the pills daily, and your periods should straighten out. since you didn't miss more than a day of pills, you should still be protected from pregnancy. if you are really bothered by the bleeding, you can discuss with your soxtor the possibility of taking two pills a day for a few days to stop the bleeding.

however, that is not necessary, but it will stop the bleeding. I hope his was helpful, please let me know if you have any more questions.
